I've never noticed this on my 2025 but I rarely walk up from behind when unlocking the car. Sounds like a software feature so maybe they are changing the tail lights to no longer have this ability even if the software supports it.

That seems likely. They can switch to non-dimming LEDs and a corresponding board/driver that doesn't need to adjust voltage. It's probably saving a few Euros per car, but in volume, that adds up, I guess.

MB could do something similar. No animation with the base reflector headlight (which in 2025 is gross) and animation available with DIGITAL LIGHT. Of course, I don't actually know. And US production might also be different.
